What are the different types of health insurance plans?

There are several different types of health insurance plans available to individuals and families. The most common type is employer-sponsored health insurance, which is typically obtained through an employer and provides coverage for employees and their dependents. Another type is individual health insurance, which is purchased directly by individuals from insurance companies. Medicaid is a government-provided health insurance program for low-income individuals and families. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for senior citizens and individuals with certain disabilities. Lastly, there are Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans, Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans, and Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plans, which are all managed care plans that provide a network of healthcare providers for the insured to choose from.
